More quotes by Elizabeth Berg
My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.
Elizabeth Berg
I will come back as a little breeze. You will feel me on your face, and you will know that I am still listening. So you can still talk to me.
Elizabeth Berg
I believe that the souls of women flatten and anchor themselves in times of adversity, lay in for the stay. I've heard that when elephants are attacked they often run, not away, but toward each other. Perhaps it is because they are a matriarchal society.
Elizabeth Berg
Abstracts are real and time is a lie, it cannot be measured when one moment can expand to hold everything.
Elizabeth Berg
You feel the call. That's the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open.
Elizabeth Berg
Just one look and then I knew that all I longed for long ago was you
Elizabeth Berg
The seasons tell us, everything in organic life tells us, that there is no holding on still, we try to do just that. Sometimes, though, we learn the kind of wisdom that celebrates the open hand.
Elizabeth Berg
For all it's problems and difficulties, life is mostly a wonderful experience, and it is up to each person to make the most of each day. I hope you are successful in your life, but look to the heavens and the earth and especially to other people to find your real wealth. Wherever I am, wherever you go, know that my love goes with you.
Elizabeth Berg
The truth is, we usually only show our unhappiness to another woman. I suppose this is one of our problems. And yet it is also one of our strengths.
Elizabeth Berg
It's amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it's overrated, and I think it's too hard. You should only love your children that is necessary, because otherwise you might kill them. But to love a man? It's overrated, and it's too hard and I will never, ever do it again.
Elizabeth Berg
There is incredible value in being of service to others.
Elizabeth Berg
It is never about how good your voice is it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given.
Elizabeth Berg
I turn off the radio, listen to the quiet. Which has its own, rich sound. Which I knew, but had forgotten. And it is good to remember.
Elizabeth Berg
One thing I have always been is too short. It's adorable when you're in junior high. After that, it's a pain in the ass for the rest of your life.
Elizabeth Berg
I felt myself trapped in line for a ride I was not nearly ready for, looking back but moving forward in the only direction I could go.
Elizabeth Berg
You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.
Elizabeth Berg
Don't let your habits become handcuffs
Elizabeth Berg
I hadn't realized how much I'd been needing to meet someone I might be able to say everything to.
Elizabeth Berg
It will happen when you're not looking for it. Love likes to take you by surprise.
Elizabeth Berg
Sometimes serendipity is just intention unmasked.
